From 23009-1:
The value of the minimum buffer time does not provide any instructions
to the client on how long
to buffer the media. The value however describes how much buffer a
client should have under
ideal network conditions. As such, MBT is not describing the burstiness
or jitter in the network,
it is describing the burstiness or jitter in the content encoding.
Together with the BW value, it is
a property of the content. Using the "leaky bucket" model, it is the
size of the bucket that makes
BW true, given the way the content is encoded
A previous PR, #5950, added support for variants that contain multiple
different codecs.
It was supposed to also add support for variants with multiple
mimeTypes, but that part didn't work correctly. This reworks a lot of
#5950 and #6047, to change how they handle such complicated variants.
This has the side-effect of allowing the stream utils to differentiate
between content that has multiple codecs because of type changes, and
content that has multiple codecs because of being muxed video+audio.
Fixes#6010

## Background:
The native DOM Parser can perform poorly on some older devices, this
approach is faster on newer devices but is considerably better on older
devices.
This PR replaces the usage of the DOM Parser for DASH, MSS, VTT and
TTML.
The draw back of this approach that it does not include any validation
at the cost of better performance.
The state engine mechanism, designed for the player class, was
over-engineered. The structure of the class makes debugging player
errors unnecessarily annoying, by obfuscating the code-path the error
followed, and in general
has created a significant amount of technical debt.
This changes the player to use an async-await setup for the top-level
operations, laying things out much more cleanly
and linearly.

This prevent errors when the codec specified is not the same that in the
stream, and also fixes the override when there are multiples codecs (eg:
muxed content)
- Allow to have multiple transmuxers, but choose only the one that is
valid depending on whether it supports the codecs or not
- Supported codecs: AAC, AC-3, EC-3, H.264, MPEG/MP3
- It is prepared to allow more codecs in the future (HEVC/H.265) (no
muxed)
Shaka in most of places normalizes tracks' language code to be compliant with ISO 639-1 when possible. However, it does not do that all the time (i.e. normalization is missing in MSS parser) and there is no way to get value that has been explicitly set in a manifest. Moreover, documentation is misleading, as it claims that value is taken directly from a manifest.
Normalization should take place, specifically to easify PeriodCombiner algorithm and also to not break existing applications.
However, original value can be desired for some implementations.
This PR introduces new field to get original language value from the manifest.
